There are plenty of choices when it comes to following a light path as part of your Christmas celebrations. Oxford Street Oxford Street’s festive lights are a treat for the eyes this year. However you’ll have to pick your hours carefully as the lights — which we returned on at the start of November — are only on for eight hours a day this year, from 3 — 11 p. m., in the wake of the rising energy costs the country is facing. It is expected this will reduce energy usage by up to two thirds compared to previous years, when the lights have been on for 24 hours through November and December. Kew Garden One of the most famous light paths of the season, Christmas at Kew offers a full-on festive experience with over 2 km of lights to walk through. Along the way you’ll have the chance to sample festive food and drink, and possibly even say hello to Santa himself. Regent Street Regent Street’s lights are on the theme of The Spirit Of Christmas this year, bringing golden angels to the shopping street. The lights, which cover Regent Street and the St James neighbourhoods, were turned on on November 9, and like the Oxford St lights are turned on between 3 and 11 p. m. Covent Garden A visit to Covent Garden will certainly get you in the festive spirit this year, with the central London destination offering a whole lot of lights — from 11 a. m. until midnight every day until January 3. Visitors can also enjoy daily snow showers as well as festive food treats and heated wine — with over 40 different varieties there. 1. Why are Oxford Street’s festive lights just on for 8 hours a day this year? A. The quality of these lights is not good. B. The public don’t like these lights. C. The country expects to differ from previous years. D. The government wants to save energy. 2 In which place do the lights mainly focus on The Spirit of Christmas? A Kew Gardens. B. Oxford Street. C. Covent Garden. D. Regent Street. 3. What can visitors do when visiting Covent Garden? A. See snow day and night. B. Take a shower. C. Enjoy many different kinds of wines. D. Pick out the favourite lights. B Tina Leverton was 62 when she bought her first pair of ballet shoes. She said putting her feet into the soft leather was very emotional. She said, “I’ve waited a long time for it.” A few days later, Leverton took her first ballet class after seeing an advertisement in a newspaper. It showed older women dancing in a class near Leverton’s house. “As I came in the door, I found a big smile on my face. From the minute I started, I felt like coming home.” Leverton had longed to dance as a child. Sadly, her parents couldn’t afford ballet classes, for they were first-generation Indian immigrants, struggling to make a living in the UK. Her father was a train driver on the underground in London and her mother held two cleaning jobs. However, she harboured her dream of being a ballerina (芭蕾舞女演员). At her present age, a grand plie—lowering to the floor with bent knees seemed to be out of the question. It took her three months to master the move: leaping and landing on one foot. “I love the struggle and the challenge of learning something new. People in their 60s have a lot of self-limiting beliefs: ‘I can’t do it,’ ‘I’m not good enough.’ And maybe they’re not good enough. But it doesn’t matter,” she said. Ballet has been transformative (有改造能力的). At a medical appointment a few months after Leverton’s first class, a nurse measured her at 163 cm, half an inch taller than she had thought. She attributes (归因) the difference to improved posture. Her muscle tone has improved and her lower back pain has stopped. Dancing has also brought new friends. She met a group of older, more independent women and worked together towards a team award with the Royal Academy of Dance. And then, of course, there is the joyful feeling.“Ballet is all the therapy (治疗) I’ll ever need,” said Leverton. 4. How Leverton been feeling about taking a ballet class? A. Shy. B. Confident. C. Excited. D. Annoyed. 5. Why did Leverton fail to take a ballet class in her youth? A. Her parents prevented her from doing so. B. The ballet class was unaffordable for her family. C. She had to hold two cleaning jobs. D. Her family was busy immigrating to the UK. 6. What did dancing bring to Leverton? A. Health and friendship. B. A team award. C. Well-paid work. D. Fame and wealth. 7. What can be learned from Leverton’s story? A. Hard work pays off. B. Never too old to pursue dreams. C. Actions speak louder than words. D. Interest is the path to success. C A group of researchers has come up with a way to make it easier to drive in the snow: by designing tyres (轮胎) based on polar bear paws. “We had an ongoing project for many years focused on ice,” said Ali Dhinojwala, who took part in the research.“We were looking at the friction (摩擦力) of materials because our national partners need to develop tyres with a strong grip on the road in ice and snow conditions.” The team turned to nature for inspiration, thinking that evolution might have already solved the problem in a way that could be copied with technology. The obvious place to look was polar bears — specifically the tiny bumps (凸块) on the surface of their paw pads — to find out what effect they have on the animals’ ability to move quickly across icy and snowy area. To do this, the team gathered samples (样本) of polar bear paw pads, as well as samples from brown bears and American black bears (two species closely related to polar bears) and sun bears (a distantly related species, typically found in Asia). The team imaged the samples using a scanning electron microscope, produced 3D-printed copies and then tested them in snow in the lab. They found that the tiny structures on the polar bear paw pads were taller, which gave them better friction on the snow, even though polar bears have smaller pads compared to other bears. The team now wants to look into other factors that may have an effect, such as the patterns and shapes of the tiny structures. “If you look at snow tyres, you’ll see that they do have some deeper treads (外胎花纹), but this research could also show various ways to design them that could have a larger impact,” said Dhinojwala. 8 What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A. Tiny bumps. B. Polar bears. C. Snowy roads. D. Paw pads. 9. What does Paragraph 4 mainly talk about? A. The finding of the research. B. The background of the research. C. The comparison of different bear pads. D. The differences of samples in the lab. 10. What can we infer from Dhinojwala’s words in the last paragraph? A. Snow tyres that have deeper treads can be safe enough. B. Different treads might be designed on the snow tyres. C. The researchers should have turned to other bears for inspiration. D. The design of snow tyres requires no further improvement. 11. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. An Ongoing Project Focused on Ice B. An Easier Way to Drive in the Snow C. A New Research on Polar Bear Paw Pads D. Snow Tyres Based on Polar Bear Paws D San Francisco’s waterfront (海滨) is on the National Register of Historic Places for good reason. Its beautiful old landmarks, like the Ferry Building and the Bay Bridge, have been seen in many books, TV shows and movies — from the stories and novels of Jack London to the 1970s TV series The Streets of San Francisco. The future of San Francisco’s waterfront, however, isn’t safe. In 2016, the National Trust for Historic Preservation put part of the city’s shoreline on its list of the US’s most endangered historic places, in part because of the threat of sea level rise. The waterfront landmarks of many cities are under increasing threat from floods and rising sea levels brought on by human-driven climate change. St. Mark’s Basilica in Venice, Italy and the Venice Beach boardwalk in Los Angeles face similar challenges to San Francisco. “The whole issue of climate change and historic preservation intersects (交织) right at the waterfront,” said Elaine Forbes, director of the Port of San Francisco. As she watched the boats come and go on a sunny afternoon, Forbes said,“Sea level rise hasn’t historically been as much of a threat to San Francisco as major earthquakes.” However, that’s changed. Parts of the main road that runs along the waterfront have flooded from heavy rains in recent years. The state estimates (预估) the water could rise up to about two and a half feet above its present level by 2060, and possibly up to seven feet by the turn of the century. Now, San Francisco is considering measures to save its historic shoreline. But the growing magnitude (震级) and frequency of the climate-related threats, the high costs and effort needed in saving heritage sites, and competing ideas about what’s worth saving and what isn’t, can make it hard for cities to know what to do first. 12. What is San Francisco’s waterfront famous for? A. Crowded beaches. B. Old landmarks. C. Comfortable climate. D. Beautiful bridges. 13. What challenge is the waterfront facing? A. The threat from rising sea levels. B. The loss of public support. C. The competition from other cities D. The influence of tourist activities. 14. Why is the earthquake mentioned in Paragraph 4? A. To stress the seriousness of sea level rise. B. To give an example of existing threats. C. To show the difficulty in the waterfront protection. D. To compare different types of natural disasters. 15. What can be known from the text? A. Threats have been removed. B. Heritage sites are in ruins. C. Solutions are under consideration. D. The shoreline has been flooded. 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Fear is a powerful feeling. We hope we can improve our kids with courage in the face of fear.

We’ll take care of everything!” Carly waved from the front door of the shop as her parents drove off. They were headed for a well-deserved vacation from their candy store, and Carly had promised them she’d be able to run it by herself. Her parents didn’t quite agree, however, so they compromised by having Carly’s Aunt Maggie come over and help. Aunt Maggie didn’t have any experience running a store, but Carly did, and at least her aunt would be good company. Carly put on her pink shop apron (围裙) and removed a white one from a hook, handing it to her aunt. “Please put this on. The main job is to serve customers, but we also make some of the candy ourselves. Dad and Mum did most of the work already, but we have to finish up a few things. I’ll show you.” Carly took her aunt behind the counter and over to where the family made some of their own candy, such as fresh fudge (软糖), cotton candy, and ice cream. They had lots of delicious flavours to choose from. Aunt Maggie took a little bite of the chocolate mint-flavouted fudge, saying. “It’s delicious.” “It’s good, but… unoriginal.” Carly said, “We can do better.” Before Aunt Maggie could question what she meant. Carly went into the kitchen, coming back with her hands full of items. She spread them on the work surface. “I want to create new flavours and our customers should try something new, something innovative.” Aunt Maggie’s eyes grew wide as she looked at the items. Brussels sprouts (球芽甘蓝). Flaming Hot Chili Sauce (辣椒酱)… “Are you sure they can be added into fudges or ice creams?” Aunt Maggie shook her head in disbelief. Carly looked at her aunt, saying that it would work and the cold would perfectly balance out the spicy sauce. After a while, today’s new specials were done—Brussels sprout fudge, barbeque-flavoured cotton candy, hot sauce ice cream… Carly looked at them proudly but Aunt Maggie disbelieved and said. “I just wish our customers would like them.” 注意: 1.续写词数应为150左右; 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 They put up a sign in front of the store showing the new flavours. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ But to her delight, the two boys came back, followed by a crowd of kids. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力答案：1~5ACCBB 6~10CAABC 11~l5ACCBA 16~20CBBAA 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2024～2025学年度第一学期第一次月考高二英语 全卷满分150分，考试时间120分钟。 注意事项： 1. 答题前，先将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在试卷和答题卡上，并将条形码粘贴在答题卡上的指定位置。 2. 请按题号顺序在答题卡上各题目的答题区域内作答，写在试卷、草稿纸和答题卡上的非答题区域均无效。 3. 选择题用2B铅笔在答题卡上把所选答案的标号涂黑;非选择题用黑色签字笔在答题卡上作答;字体工整，笔迹清楚。 4. 考试结束后，请将试卷和答题卡一并上交。 第一部分　听力(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共5小题;每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 例：How much is the shirt?

She said putting her feet into the soft leather was very emotional. She said, “I’ve waited a long time for it.” A few days later, Leverton took her first ballet class after seeing an advertisement in a newspaper. It showed older women dancing in a class near Leverton’s house. “As I came in the door, I found a big smile on my face. From the minute I started, I felt like coming home.” Leverton had longed to dance as a child. Sadly, her parents couldn’t afford ballet classes, for they were first-generation Indian immigrants, struggling to make a living in the UK. Her father was a train driver on the underground in London and her mother held two cleaning jobs. However, she harboured her dream of being a ballerina (芭蕾舞女演员). At her present age, a grand plie—lowering to the floor with bent knees seemed to be out of the question. It took her three months to master the move: leaping and landing on one foot. “I love the struggle and the challenge of learning something new. People in their 60s have a lot of self-limiting beliefs: ‘I can’t do it,’ ‘I’m not good enough.’ And maybe they’re not good enough. But it doesn’t matter,” she said. Ballet has been transformative (有改造能力的). At a medical appointment a few months after Leverton’s first class, a nurse measured her at 163 cm, half an inch taller than she had thought. She attributes (归因) the difference to improved posture. Her muscle tone has improved and her lower back pain has stopped. Dancing has also brought new friends. She met a group of older, more independent women and worked together towards a team award with the Royal Academy of Dance. And then, of course, there is the joyful feeling.“Ballet is all the therapy (治疗) I’ll ever need,” said Leverton. 4. How Leverton been feeling about taking a ballet class? A. Shy. B. Confident. C. Excited. D. Annoyed. 5. Why did Leverton fail to take a ballet class in her youth? A. Her parents prevented her from doing so. B. The ballet class was unaffordable for her family. C. She had to hold two cleaning jobs. D. Her family was busy immigrating to the UK. 6. What did dancing bring to Leverton? A. Health and friendship. B. A team award. C. Well-paid work. D. Fame and wealth. 7. What can be learned from Leverton’s story? A. Hard work pays off. B. Never too old to pursue dreams. C. Actions speak louder than words. D. Interest is the path to success. 【答案】4. C 5. B 6. A 7. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了Tina Leverton在62岁时实现了她长久以来的梦想开始学习芭蕾舞，并从中获得了许多积极的改变。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“She said, “I’ve waited a long time for it.”(她说：“我已经等了很长时间了。”)”可知，她穿上芭蕾舞鞋时感到非常激动。故选C。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Sadly, her parents couldn’t afford ballet classes, for they were first-generation Indian immigrants, struggling to make a living in the UK.(遗憾的是，她的父母没钱上芭蕾舞课，因为他们是第一代印度移民，在英国努力谋生。)”可知，她年轻时未能参加芭蕾舞课的原因是家庭经济状况。故选B。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Ballet has been transformative (有改造能力的). At a medical appointment a few months after Leverton’s first class, a nurse measured her at 163 cm, half an inch taller than she had thought. She attributes (归因) the difference to improved posture. Her muscle tone has improved and her lower back pain has stopped. Dancing has also brought new friends.(芭蕾舞具有变革性。在Leverton上完第一堂课几个月后的一次医疗预约中，一位护士给她测量了163厘米的身高，比她想象的要高半英寸。她将这种差异归因于姿势的改善。她的肌肉张力改善了，腰痛也停止了。跳舞也带来了新朋友。)”可知，跳舞给她带来了健康和友谊。故选A。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Tina Leverton was 62 when she bought her first pair of ballet shoes.(Tina Leverton62岁时买了她的第一双芭蕾舞鞋。)”可知，Tina Leverton在62岁时才开始学习芭蕾舞，我们能从她的故事中学到追求梦想永远不嫌老。故选B。 C A group of researchers has come up with a way to make it easier to drive in the snow: by designing tyres (轮胎) based on polar bear paws “We had an ongoing project for many years focused on ice” said Ali Dhinojwala, who took part in the research.“We were looking at the friction (摩擦力) of materials because our national partners need to develop tyres with a strong grip on the road in ice and snow conditions.” The team turned to nature for inspiration, thinking that evolution might have already solved the problem in a way that could be copied with technology. The obvious place to look was polar bears — specifically the tiny bumps (凸块) on the surface of their paw pads — to find out what effect they have on the animals’ ability to move quickly across icy and snowy area. To do this, the team gathered samples (样本) of polar bear paw pads, as well as samples from brown bears and American black bears (two species closely related to polar bears) and sun bears (a distantly related species, typically found in Asia). The team imaged the samples using a scanning electron microscope, produced 3D-printed copies and then tested them in snow in the lab. They found that the tiny structures on the polar bear paw pads were taller, which gave them better friction on the snow, even though polar bears have smaller pads compared to other bears. The team now wants to look into other factors that may have an effect, such as the patterns and shapes of the tiny structures. “If you look at snow tyres, you’ll see that they do have some deeper treads (外胎花纹), but this research could also show various ways to design them that could have a larger impact,” said Dhinojwala. 8. What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A. Tiny bumps. B. Polar bears. C. Snowy roads. D. Paw pads. 9. What does Paragraph 4 mainly talk about? A. The finding of the research. B. The background of the research. C. The comparison of different bear pads. D. The differences of samples in the lab. 10. What can we infer from Dhinojwala’s words in the last paragraph? A. Snow tyres that have deeper treads can be safe enough. B. Different treads might be designed on the snow tyres. C. The researchers should have turned to other bears for inspiration. D. The design of snow tyres requires no further improvement. 11. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. An Ongoing Project Focused on Ice B. An Easier Way to Drive in the Snow C. A New Research on Polar Bear Paw Pads D. Snow Tyres Based on Polar Bear Paws 【答案】8. A 9. A 10. B 11. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了科学家基于北极熊熊爪的构造设计新型雪地轮胎。 【8题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段“The obvious place to look was polar bears — specifically the tiny bumps (凸块) on the surface of their paw pads — to find out what effect they have on the animals’ ability to move quickly across icy and snowy area.(最明显研究对象是北极熊——特别是它们脚掌表面的小凸起——来发现它们对动物在冰雪地区快速移动的能力有什么影响。)”可知，“它们”指的是北极熊脚掌表面的小凸起对于动物在冰雪地区快速移动的能力的影响，推断出they指代的是选项“小凸起”。故选A。 【9题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段“They found that the tiny structures on the polar bear paw pads were taller, which gave them better friction on the snow, even though polar bears have smaller pads compared to other bears.(他们发现北极熊脚垫上的微小结构更高，这使得它们在雪地上有更好的摩擦力，尽管北极熊的脚垫比其他熊小。)”可知，第四段主要谈到的是研究的发现。故选A。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段““If you look at snow tyres, you’ll see that they do have some deeper treads (外胎花纹), but this research could also show various ways to design them that could have a larger impact,” said Dhinojwala.(“如果你看看雪地轮胎，你会发现它们确实有一些更深的外胎花纹，但这项研究也可以展示各种设计方法，这些方法可以产生更大的影响，”Dhinojwala说)”可知，我们可以从最后一段Dhinojwala的话中推断出雪地轮胎可能会设计不同的外胎花纹。故选B。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“A group of researchers has come up with a way to make it easier to drive in the snow: by designing tyres (轮胎) based on polar bear paws.(一组研究人员提出了一种使在雪地里开车更容易的方法：用北极熊的爪子设计轮胎。)”可知，本文主要介绍的是科学家基于北极熊爪设计雪地轮胎，选项D“基于北极熊爪的雪地轮胎”符合题意。故选D。 D San Francisco’s waterfront (海滨) is on the National Register of Historic Places for good reason. Its beautiful old landmarks, like the Ferry Building and the Bay Bridge, have been seen in many books, TV shows and movies — from the stories and novels of Jack London to the 1970s TV series The Streets of San Francisco. The future of San Francisco’s waterfront, however, isn’t safe. In 2016, the National Trust for Historic Preservation put part of the city’s shoreline on its list of the US’s most endangered historic places, in part because of the threat of sea level rise. The waterfront landmarks of many cities are under increasing threat from floods and rising sea levels brought on by human-driven climate change. St. Mark’s Basilica in Venice, Italy and the Venice Beach boardwalk in Los Angeles face similar challenges to San Francisco. “The whole issue of climate change and historic preservation intersects (交织) right at the waterfront,” said Elaine Forbes, director of the Port of San Francisco. As she watched the boats come and go on a sunny afternoon, Forbes said,“Sea level rise hasn’t historically been as much of a threat to San Francisco as major earthquakes.” However, that’s changed. Parts of the main road that runs along the waterfront have flooded from heavy rains in recent years. The state estimates (预估) the water could rise up to about two and a half feet above its present level by 2060, and possibly up to seven feet by the turn of the century. Now, San Francisco is considering measures to save its historic shoreline. But the growing magnitude (震级) and frequency of the climate-related threats, the high costs and effort needed in saving heritage sites, and competing ideas about what’s worth saving and what isn’t, can make it hard for cities to know what to do first. 12 What is San Francisco’s waterfront famous for? A. Crowded beaches. B. Old landmarks. C. Comfortable climate. D. Beautiful bridges. 13. What challenge is the waterfront facing? A. The threat from rising sea levels. B. The loss of public support. C. The competition from other cities D. The influence of tourist activities. 14. Why is the earthquake mentioned in Paragraph 4? A. To stress the seriousness of sea level rise. B. To give an example of existing threats. C. To show the difficulty in the waterfront protection. D. To compare different types of natural disasters. 15. What can be known from the text? A. Threats have been removed. B. Heritage sites are in ruins. C. Solutions are under consideration. D. The shoreline has been flooded. 【答案】12. B 13. A 14. A 15. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章说明了旧金山的滨水区如今面临海平面上升的威胁，同时许多城市的滨水地标正面临着由人类活动引起的气候变化带来的洪水和海平面上升的日益严重的威胁。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Its beautiful old landmarks, like the Ferry Building and the Bay Bridge, have been seen in many books, TV shows and movies — from the stories and novels of Jack London to the 1970s TV series The Streets of San Francisco.(它美丽的古老地标，如渡轮大厦和海湾大桥，在许多书籍、电视节目和电影中都有出现——从杰克·伦敦的故事和小说到20世纪70年代的电视剧《旧金山街道》。)”可知，旧金山的滨水区以古老地标闻名。故选B。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“In 2016, the National Trust for Historic Preservation put part of the city’s shoreline on its list of the US’s most endangered historic places, in part because of the threat of sea level rise.(2016年，美国国家历史保护信托基金会将该市的部分海岸线列入了美国最濒危的历史遗迹名单，部分原因是海平面上升的威胁。)”可知，滨水区面临海平面上升的威胁。故选A。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Parts of the main road that runs along the waterfront have flooded from heavy rains in recent years. The state estimates (预估) the water could rise up to about two and a half feet above its present level by 2060, and possibly up to seven feet by the turn of the century.(近年来，沿着滨水区的部分主要道路因暴雨而被淹没。该州估计，到2060年，水位可能会上升到比现在高2.5英尺左右，到世纪之交可能会上升到7英尺。)”可推知，第四段提到了地震是为了强调海平面上升的严重性。故选A。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Now, San Francisco is considering measures to save its historic shoreline.(现在，旧金山正在考虑采取措施保护其历史悠久的海岸线。)”可知，解决方案正在考虑之中。故选C。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Fear is a powerful feeling.

We’ll take care of everything!” Carly waved from the front door of the shop as her parents drove off. They were headed for a well-deserved vacation from their candy store, and Carly had promised them she’d be able to run it by herself. Her parents didn’t quite agree, however, so they compromised by having Carly’s Aunt Maggie come over and help. Aunt Maggie didn’t have any experience running a store, but Carly did, and at least her aunt would be good company. Carly put on her pink shop apron (围裙) and removed a white one from a hook, handing it to her aunt. “Please put this on. The main job is to serve customers, but we also make some of the candy ourselves. Dad and Mum did most of the work already, but we have to finish up a few things. I’ll show you.” Carly took her aunt behind the counter and over to where the family made some of their own candy, such as fresh fudge (软糖), cotton candy, and ice cream. They had lots of delicious flavours to choose from. Aunt Maggie took a little bite of the chocolate mint-flavouted fudge, saying. “It’s delicious.” “It’s good, but… unoriginal.” Carly said, “We can do better.” Before Aunt Maggie could question what she meant. Carly went into the kitchen, coming back with her hands full of items. She spread them on the work surface. “I want to create new flavours and our customers should try something new, something innovative.” Aunt Maggie’s eyes grew wide as she looked at the items. Brussels sprouts (球芽甘蓝). Flaming Hot Chili Sauce (辣椒酱)… “Are you sure they can be added into fudges or ice creams?” Aunt Maggie shook her head in disbelief. Carly looked at her aunt, saying that it would work and the cold would perfectly balance out the spicy sauce. After a while, today’s new specials were done—Brussels sprout fudge, barbeque-flavoured cotton candy, hot sauce ice cream… Carly looked at them proudly but Aunt Maggie disbelieved and said. “I just wish our customers would like them.” 注意: 1.续写词数应为150左右; 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 They put up a sign in front of the store showing the new flavours. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ But to her delight, the two boys came back, followed by a crowd of kids. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】They put up a sign in front of the store showing the new flavours. People passing by were surprised at the new specials. Carly felt her heart sink as the hours went by without anyone showing interest in their new creations. But just as Carly was about to lose hope, two boys walked in and pointed at the new flavours saying, “We want to try them.” Carly’s eyes were shining brilliantly and she quickly served them what they ordered. After they left, Carly was a little worried if they liked the new flavours. But to her delight, the two boys came back, followed by a crowd of kids. “Your new specials are so tasty that our friends want to have a try,” the boys said. No words could please Carly more than hearing that. Word about the new flavours quickly spread, and the store was soon crowded with customers eager to try the new flavours. The store became famous thanks to Carly’s willingness to try something new. Carly felt a sense of accomplishment and pride. She couldn’t wait to tell the exciting news to her parents. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了卡莉的父母去度假了，留下卡莉运营糖果屋，她的阿姨麦琪也来帮忙，但是她没有经验。卡莉想要创造一些新口味的糖果和冰淇淋，麦琪却不免担心。她们推出了新产品，但是却无人问津，直到两个男孩来体验，十分喜欢，并带着朋友一起来品尝，她发明的新口味产品受到欢迎，糖果店变得出名的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“他们在店门口挂了一个牌子，展示新口味。”可知，第一段可描写卡莉展示新口味的产品，无人问津，十分失望时，遇到了两个男孩前来体验。 ②由第二段首句内容“但令她高兴的是，两个男孩回来了，后面跟着一群孩子。”可知，第二段可描写男孩带着朋友来品尝，她制作的新口味糖果和冰淇淋流传开来，糖果店变得出名。 2.续写线索：推出新口味产品——无人问津——男孩来品尝——男孩带着朋友再次前来——新口味产品流传开来——糖果店变得出名 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①想要：want/would like/feel like ②走，朝……去：walk/step/head 情绪类 ①惊讶的：surprised/shocked ②担忧的：worried/concerned 【点睛】[高分句型1].
